Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Klarna
Entrevista
after sending a CV I received an invitation to do some logic test. After that I requested a copy of my personal data stored to discover that the test was written quite well ( do not remember the exact amount of questions, but there were just 2 mistakes, so the number of correct answers was high), but Klarna never got back to me after the test,

It was a logic test with different kinds of dots moving on the field, and you are to understand the pattern and select which shape/picture/pattern goes next.

I just have the feeling some things have been unsaid regarding the culture, might pursue Klarna later instead.
I appreciated the interview setup and discussions.

The first round was fine--typical screener going over the role. Second round I think was ridiculous--an intelligence test. I took the test with a proctor, and found out I failed. No feedback, and no room to improve. Bizarre.
Glad I got rejected:
(1) Pre Screen - Amazing recruiter who was very kind
(2) Logical test (Passed that)
(3) Skills Interview - This.
-The person who interviewed me was just plain bad.
-The ego on this person's face was felt in my entire house. Cut me off in between answers, asked me questions to make it seem the interviewer has made their mind up to reject me from the 1st minute because whatever I said (backing up with examples) were not received well.
-When asked follow up questions, the interviewer seem disinterested and some weren't even answered.
Overall, a horrible experience.
And guess what? This was maybe the 1st of their 765 rounds of interviews.
Advice: Please don't let your candidates jump hoops for you when you lay them off IN A PRE-RECORDED video.
Also a big advice: Train your employees to interview. Klarna behaves like a wannabe FAANG but lacks the empathy of interviewing.
P.S.: The interviewer had said everyone at Klarna is humble. That's definitely laughable from the way they portrayed their personality. (No offence to other Klarnauts)
